Erdogan: 'Turkey always ready to accept its history'

Ankara stands for the opening of archives for an investigation of the 1915 events, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said speaking at an international conference titled 'Arab Spring and Peace in the New Middle East: Muslim and Christian Perspectives' in Istanbul, TRT Haber TV channel reports.

Turkey as a state, is always ready to accept its history, Erdogan said.

Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that the predecessor of Turkey, the Ottoman Empire, had committed the 1915 genocide against Armenians living in Anatolia and achieved recognition of the "Armenian Genocide" by the parliaments of several countries.
